And then I went directly there, flying with my chariot while thinking about the northern problem of the Hescos.

Dealing with these Hescos needed either warriors with cultivation bases, or my Hescos suits and trained forces to deal with them.

But if I did that, then all of my trump cards would be revealed. It wasn’t a good thing actually. And so I decided not to use these hidden trained forces or the specially designed suits and weapons to deal with Hescos.

My warriors would be enough to deal with these Hescos here for the moment.

As for the ones going to the other worlds, they should use all the power they could from the weapons and suits. In these worlds, the situation was going to be totally different.

I was going to invade the Hescos in the worlds they controlled. So it was going to be hard to establish a foothold there and keep it secured and controlled.

As I reached the central zone of the capital, I found my portals linking this world with the second Earth. There I saw lots of forces coming out, seemingly like a dam just got broken and a flood was gushing out.

It was unstoppable, and it gave me a sense of dominance and strength. Why caring about my enemies and their plans when I got such awesome power to aid me in my wars?

Soon enough I found the part that was filled with many weapons. It seemed the research department people once coming out started to deploy their weapons.

They gave me a sense of confidence, but it wasn’t needed for them to do that.

“Lord, I’m Garry, and I’m the one leading the research department,” a young man came, wearing a tight black and blue suit that looked awesome.

pA n,dan0vel.c0m He wasn’t any older than me, but from his flickering eyes with light, one was blue and the other was black, I knew he wasn’t a human.

Or more precisely, he wasn’t a pure human. That dude gave me the impression of a lion feigning weakness, and lying in wait for his chance to ambush his foes.

He was strong and seemed scary enough to get my approval. And I knew without asking that he was one of the new generations gained from the marriage between a human and another race.

“Where is everyone? Where is old Gan?” I looked around, but none of the five trusted leaders of the research department were here.

“They are leading everyone back home to work and produce more weapons for the lord,” Garry said in a humble tone that I didn’t buy.

This dude wasn’t any less arrogant than the jumper. But he got the temper to know his place in front me, unlike the jumper and spearhead.

Seeing him made me like what old Gan and others did. They brought out such brilliant kids and I was glad they did.

Like this, I could let the weapons modified and invented by the brilliant minds of the research department be fully used without any issue while not negatively affecting the working progress of the entire department.

With the five leaders there, led by old Gan, I was sure more weapons would be produced, and much more would be invented.

This was quite relieving.

“Make your preparations then,” I slowly said before adding, “in less than three days, we are going to hit the other worlds with the help of your weapons.”

“This fast?” He said it as if he was surprised, but something told me he was quite excited about it. I didn’t care about what he truly felt, and instead emphasised over the importance of this task.

Then I asked him to take me around to check over the overall firepower available here. Of course I didn’t let him demonstrate anything, as this would turn my kingdom into ruins, killing lots of my people in the process.

I let him show off and explain everything the department developed so far. In the time I took to control the situation here, and during the past few days since the start of the fifth quest, the research department seemed to have more breakthroughs.

I found new big guns and interesting weapons. For example, there was that kind of weapon that could be used as mines implanted under the ground.

The firepower of these mines was something scary according to Garry. He boasted about how strong and deadly these mines were. And the scary thing about them was the ability to recharge themselves almost without the need for anyone to intervene at all.

They got sockets of many high energy crystals and ores that would recharge them once they got triggered and exploded.

According to Garry, the power generated from these mines was enough to take down even Hescos. I didn’t totally buy what he sold, but I knew these mines must be scary nonetheless.

If I used these before the start of the zombie outbreak, things would be much easier in facing them. The only drawback according to Garry’s words was that once implanted, they had no way to take them out or defuse them.

That meant once used, they would pose equal risk to my enemies and my forces, all the same.

But that was also good news. If we ever faced a hard nut to crack at any of these worlds, then using these mines would be useful.

According to Garry’s words, these mines could buy us lots of time. Using this to reinforce the area controlled in any world was the best tactic.

Like this, I wouldn’t be bothered with strong armies coming at my forces sent out there. And if these mines could be mass produced, then by the time I’d go towards the golden quest, I could use them to ensure the safety of my vast kingdom and controlled regions of the other worlds.

“How many of these do you have?” I asked in interest, and his bright smile made me know he got enough.
